All about growing up

It’s finally that day.  The biggest day in my son’s life.  He’s off to school.  His life as a little person has begun and just like the rest of us, he now has duties and responsibilities outside the home.  I’m thrilled for him, but a little unsure as to how I feel myself…

The house is so empty!

Lil' B on his very first day at school. (That's him in the back, checking out the room. His teacher is in the foreground and his big brother E' is asking her questions about the school day... Best big bro Ever!)

Today I sit, for the first time in forever, in an empty house. I can do anything I want to do.

But I don’t want to do anything.  I’m lonely.  Proud that he’s in school, happy that all of my kids are old enough to have lives of their own, but lonely.

I think I need to get out of here for a while.
